Islam in "liberal" Europe: freedom, equality, and intolerance

Introduction. Is liberal society Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde?

1. Politics and law

Law : Muslims in the secular constitutional state and the problem of effective equality

State : the ambivalence of state policies on Islam

Parliaments, parties, movements : "representation without participation" or the problem of hegemony in democracy

Political culture : Muslims' loyalty to the system

2. Society

The bourgeois majority : from respectable Islamophobia to system-society rupture

The Muslim minority : necessary integration and recognition-worthy segregation

Excursus: The crisis of the middle class : the social Darwinism of cultural difference

3. Media

Mass media : enlightened Islamophobia and the social ethics of communication

Social media : virtual crusaders of the new public sphere

4. The academy and education

Scholarship and intellectualism : the deliberalization of the staged knowledge society

School : the pedagogy of (hesitant) recognition of Islam

5. Religious institutions

Church : the reluctant intermediary

Conclusion. The reinvention of liberal society in Europe.
